No Lack of fight by new ace - 0 Comments

On a day when a pitcher doesn’t have dominant stuff, the most one can ask for is that he competes.

That’s exactly what Red Sox starter John Lackey did yesterday, and he had a worthy adversary in New York Yankees starter Hiroki Kuroda before a sellout crowd of 37,601 at Fenway Park.

But while Lackey’s ability to work out of jams and minimize damage was impressive, he eventually succumbed in the seventh inning, unable to keep pace with Kuroda in what eventually turned into a 5-2 Yankees win.
